Half Moon Empanadas - Gate D29 - Miami International Airport

Great atmosphere and, a beautiful presentation but their empanadas failed to deliver on deliciousness or flakiness! The guava pastry was more like a brown sweet liquid paste and the beef gave a more manufactured taste rather than homemade. The inside of the restaurant appears to be well-kept and extremely clean.

Great freshly made empanadas! Crust and fill were perfect plus they had different fills to select from. Service by the staff was great and even went back for a dozen to take back home.

Good empanadas. The bread with the savory is better because of the fat I think. Filling on sweet ones are really good but bread is a bit stiff. Coffee was good.

Smiling friendly staff and hot food quick before my flight. First I bought the cheesy gaucho. It was a bit salty but still very tasty that I went back for another. I ended up buying a spinach and cheese for the flight as well. A little over $18 for 3 empanadas is overpriced but typical for an airport. I would return if I’m ever in Miami airport again.

Made the HUGE mistake of trying this empanadas at DC airport , I almost threw up. They use that type of cheap meat worst than Taco Bell. I got two and paid $17.50 that’s a full meal! For two of the worst empanadas of all my life. I had to throw both to the GARBAGE! They are worth like .99 cents , and they sell them over 7 dollars ! Crazy and awful taste

That Spicy Beef Empanada was absolutely delicious and tasty, thank you!!!

This place should get no stars… what a huge waste of money and a disappointment. We stopped here cuz the empanadas looked good and we were starving… WOW they were gross dry and tasted like rubber. The guava and cheese looked and smell like baby food with bananas. What a huge insult to the Latin community. Okay I am done save your money don’t eat at this place.

Rude staff work here. They don’t tell you this, but they do not have ANY sweet empanadas in the morning. Their other empanadas are shipped in from outside and feel like they are microwaved before displaying. They are incredibly small for the not so cheap $5 each price. Honestly not worth going at all and I would go anywhere else to eat. EDIT: After trying all the empanadas, I added one star back. The chicken, beef, and spinach and cheese empanadas are not too bad even though they don’t taste fresh. I would avoid the pulled pork empanada, as it just tastes bad and doesn’t work well in an empanada. EDIT 2: the guava ones are ok. It’s like baby food inside and looks like vomit. But the flavor is distinctly guava.
